Day #7!! Half way there are I still am plan-less for Valentine's Day. Maybe a skiing trip is in order.
This next ad is a dramatic representation of what we want every boyfriend/girlfriend/lover to do...look past our flaws and see the beauty that is underneath.
Thai Low Fat Tuna Ad
All of the commercials for this company are pretty funny, but they all focus on how women should have this uber-skinny appearance which I am not okay with.

Some Lizards and Love of the Sport
I know I'm late with the post, but I just got home from practice. Late is better than never.
So, on to Day #4!
Today we have an international ad about love lost. The ad is from Thailand and showcases the love life of two lizards and one not so stable ceiling.
Love Lost
Yes, this ad is a bit ridiculous, but the agency who put this together looked at ceiling and thought of it in a whole different way, as a destructive force to the well being of a relationship. The way the ad company looked at how to sell ceilings reminds me of a very good book that all creative (and non-creative) people should have on their shelves. A Whack on the Side of the Head by Roger von Oech challenges people to get outside of their comfort zone and disobey the rules of thinking to come up with creative solutions to their problems. My recommendation: Stop reading this and go out and buy it NOW!
I love international ads! The agencies seem to have more freedom with nothing as strict as the FCC limiting them. They also seem to play on emotions in a different way or different emotions entirely.
The second ad I'm presenting to you killed me the first time I watched it. While it's not about romantic love, it still involves family love...well sort of. At the very least it encompasses "love of the sport."
Soccer Partner
Although this is an exaggeration, I know many a little kid who wants a sibling just as bad. Hey, maybe it's for all the wrong reasons, but I'm sure his new little brother will come in handy some times. This ad is reminiscent of Home Alone and all the other movies where the kids are shown as being pretty devious.
